With our needs glaring so much at other more important positions (OG,QB). I'm not sure we can have the luxury of taking a project like Patterson, which I wouldnt mind!, in the 1st rnd when we can get WR's 2nd/3rd.

He's a pass rusher first and foremost. He would be a nickel edge rusher and strong side backer on early downs. He would fit a huge need for the Bucs as almost all of their front 7 excel at stopping the run and they lack any kind of a pass rush.

Some people think he can transition to linebacker in any scheme, not just the 3-4.

I'm not one of them.

The Bucs play a lot of nickel and both Lavonte David and Mason Foster are already slotted in that scheme. The last thing we need is a linebacker who sucks out loud in coverage, especially in a division with Tony Gonzalez and Jimmy Graham.

As far as I'm concerned, Jarvis Jones is a 3-4 rush-backer and that's it.

Duly noted. I think Dion Jordan is at best a complimentary SAM in a 3-4 and can't generate a rush on his own and therefore is at best a late 1st, but that doesn't mean he won't go top 10 still, nor does it mean a 4-3 team won't take him either.

I don't really think Fluker would make a good left guard and he definitely can't play center, so he'd have nowhere to play. I hope in that situation the Bears would be smart enough to take Bjorn Werner, Arthur Brown, Carradine, or even *gag* Ogletree.
